A 59-year-old man was killed Friday night after Dover police say he ran directly in front of a vehicle on North DuPont Highway.

Police have not identified the man pending notification of his next of kin.

Officers were called about 8:40 p.m. to the area of Raceway Liquors in the 800 block of North DuPont Highway (U.S. 13) for the report of a crash involving a pedestrian, said Master Cpl. Mark Hoffman, a spokesman with the department.
